Own the Bus that Drowning Pool's Lead Singer was found Dead in. Is this a hoax or a morbid curiosity collectible? Would you buy a Haunted Painting or celebrity death memorabilia? [link via actionmanmagazine board]

My guess is that this is probably a hoax. After all, if the singer died yesterday, and the auction started yesterday, that has to be the quickest decision to get rid of a tour bus ever made.

Smells like a hoax. The auction was started on 8/15, but they have the news about him dying on the 14th at the bottom as an "update."

Quonsar:

I think you are thinking of, Rolling Stone, Brian Jones.
He drowned in his pool in 1969. Some people say he was murdered.

Keith Moon died of alcohol poisoning/drug overdose in 1978.

I heard that someone connected to the Ozfest had died on my local NPR station this morning, (I live in The D.C. Metro Area.) Now I know who died, thanx drezdn...

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask, anybody know what his C.O.D. was? Obviously not old age.

He choked on his own vomit after heavy drinking. He was reportedly a "deep sleeper", so he didn't wake up as he was choking.

quonsar, I'm so crusty and ancient, I thought everyone was talking about The Drowning Pool from the 80's, a goth/industrial band with Adam Elesh of Trotsky Icepick fame.

Hah! I first thought everyone was talking about The Drowning Pool, the Paul Newman movie.

If it's a hoax, eMpTyV is playing along.

Also, apparently Drowning Pool did name themselves after that movie.
